Does asthma cause mucus?
Every time my asthma acts up, I seem to produce a lot more mucus and it gets really bothersome. I just wanted to know if this is a normal part of having asthma, or if it indicates something else.

Yeah absolutely, my chest gets super heavy with sticky mucus every time the weather changes. It's like a factory in there. Warm water and steam are my daily survival tools.
It is honestly so frustrating to constantly feel that thick mucus stuck in your throat, making it hard to talk or breathe properly. I used to cry out of sheer irritation. It is very common with asthma, so please don't feel alone in this.

Haan beta, asthma mein balgam (mucus) toh banta hi hai. Garm paani piyo aur thand se bacho, sab theek ho jayega. Humare yahan toh log garm haldi doodh bhi lete hain thoda aaram ke liye.
